Hollywood Alley

Quirky little Hollywood Alley is widely considered to be one of the best places in the Phoenix metro area to catch live bands. Owned by an unlikely trio, (Ross Wincek, his mother, and his grandmother), the bar is about as unpretentious as they come, and it seems like everyone you talk to has a story about catching some fantastic-but-unheard-of Japanese punk band there or a group of young upstarts from Seattle that now have a huge international fan base. The other standout quality about Hollywood Alley is the food: it's simple bar food, burgers, pizza, nachos, and the like but as cooked by Grandma, it's ambrosial!
